Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 174 The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect got arrogant and thought themselves superior to Yu Tianheng

"Sect Master, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has returned."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has not directly intervened in the defense of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, but this is because they feel it is unnecessary, not because they are unable to.

In fact, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect knew exactly who had entered and exited the palace.

Yu Yuanzhen is now in high spirits.

The Haotian Sect had been secluded for many years, and now, as soon as they emerged from the mountains, they went to the Star Luo Empire.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which Yu Yuanzhen has always regarded as the biggest rival of the Blue Lightning Tyrant School, has disappeared without a trace. Now the Blue Lightning Tyrant School has the God Realm as its backer, and he himself even has the opportunity to become a god.

With the situation looking so promising, not only Yu Yuanzhen, but everyone in the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect became somewhat arrogant.

"Xue Qinghe? He's back, so what? He's just a nobody; he can't interfere with the bigger picture."

Yu Yuanzhen said casually.

He didn't even put Xue Ye, the Emperor of Tiandou, in his eyes, let alone a mere crown prince.

Yu Luomian also possessed a divine inheritance, but unlike Yu Yuanzhen's Thunder God inheritance, Yu Luomian received a second-level god inheritance, the God of Speed.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's martial soul is not known for its speed, and the position of the God of Speed ​​is not a good match for the Jade Luo Crown.

In the past, Yu Luomian would have been overjoyed to receive a divine inheritance.

But now, compared to Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian felt a little unbalanced.

In the past, when divine positions were rare and practically nonexistent, he was inferior to Yu Yuanzhen. Now that the era of mass-producing divine position inheritances has arrived, the divine position inheritance he has received is still inferior to that of Yu Yuanzhen, which makes him very frustrated.

"Brother, Tianheng's pursuit of Xueke isn't going well, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe doesn't have a Crown Princess yet. Could we choose a woman from our clan to pursue her alongside Yu Tianheng, as a double insurance policy?"

As soon as Yu Luomian finished speaking, Yu Yuanzhen frowned.

"How can the tiger daughter of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan marry the dog son of the Xue family? It is enough to give them face by letting Xue Ke marry Yu Tianheng. There is no need to mention this matter again."

Yu Yuanzhen was an arrogant person who believed that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the number one beast spirit in the world. For Yu Yuanzhen, letting Xue Ke, a princess with an average spirit, join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was already a huge step backward. In his opinion, Yu Luomian's suggestion was extremely foolish.

Yu Luomian lowered her head, looking as if she had been taught a lesson.

But a fleeting, dark glint appeared in his lowered eyes.

Among the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan members who were floating around, he was arguably the most rational one.

Even with the inheritance of a godhood, he didn't have much hope of becoming a god, and the task of dealing with the Spirit Hall seemed incredibly difficult.

After all, it's not just them who have gods backing them. The Spirit Hall is incredibly powerful, and its backers seem to be even stronger than theirs. They didn't even get the divine position, but instead lost their lives.

But he was already in a difficult situation.

Putting aside the fact that he himself received the divine inheritance, he did not believe that this inheritance was given away for free. If he wanted to take the benefits without doing anything, the so-called inheritance might become a deadly poison.

Moreover, his personal opinion is not important at all. At least Yu Yuanzhen hates the Spirit Hall to the bone and has vowed to destroy it.

When news of Yu Xiaogang's death arrived, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes reddened.

However, at that time he had neither the strength nor the courage to provoke the Spirit Hall. Now that the God Realm has intervened, the two great empires have joined forces, and the Clear Sky Sect has been reborn, the Jade Luo Crown has suddenly become more prominent.

Yu Luomian clapped his hands in delight at Yu Xiaogang's death. He knew the truth about how Yu Xiaogang had seduced Liu Erlong. Even if Yu Xiaogang hadn't died, he would have wanted to skin him alive with his own hands.

He was simply furious at Liu Erlong's death. She had clearly seen through Yu Xiaogang's character, yet she had wasted her life for him. Yu Luomian simply couldn't accept it.

Yu Yuanzhen directed all his hatred towards the Spirit Hall.

Yu Luomian, besides hating Yu Xiaogang, a good-for-nothing and a beast, concentrated all his pent-up hatred on Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaogang's father.

……

"Where is Xiao Ke? I noticed she was in a bad mood yesterday, so I'm taking her out of the palace for a stroll today."

Yu Tianheng entered the palace as if it were his own backyard. However, he could not be considered to have trespassed, because Xue Ye, under pressure from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, had given the sect several tokens. Those who held the tokens had the privilege of entering the palace without an imperial edict.

Yu Tianheng came to find Xue Ke excitedly.

A few days ago, Xueke rejected him, which he took as being reserved.

Xueke's aversion and rejection were taken as her being embarrassed.

He not only thought this way, but he even said it to Yu Yuanzhen. So Yu Yuanzhen thought that he was making good progress and would soon be able to marry Xue Ke, allowing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect to get more deeply involved in the core of the power of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Young Master Yu, the princess is not here," the maid replied softly.

Even a maidservant was aware of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's current power and felt fear.

A look of displeasure appeared on Yu Tianheng's face.

"Xue Ke is a princess. I know she hasn't left the palace. Where could she go now?"

Yu Tianheng made no attempt to conceal the extent of Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's control over the imperial palace.

The maid became even more nervous.

"The princess went to see His Highness the Crown Prince. He just returned yesterday. Perhaps the princess has something to say to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Although the maid was afraid of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's power, she did not tell the truth, saying that the princess had moved to the side hall of the Crown Prince's East Palace.

"Xue Qinghe?"

Yu Tianheng had lived in Tiandou City for many years and knew Xue Qinghe fairly well. He had previously had a good impression of Xue Qinghe's easygoing, generous, and elegant personality.

But times have changed. Yu Tianheng is no fool. He is well aware of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect's schemes against the Heavenly Dou Empire.

It's not just about helping the Heaven Dou Empire fight against the Spirit Hall; they definitely want to gain something from it.

Yu Tianheng didn't ask the maid any further questions, but instead asked the attendant beside him:

"Where does Xue Qinghe live again?"

"The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace is over here."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan had an intimate knowledge of the layout of the palace.

"Lead the way."

East Palace.

A faint blue light appeared at Ning Qiuyang's fingertips.

The aura of the Sea God within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover has disappeared, but it hasn't vanished; rather, it has returned to the realm of gods.

Perhaps because his divine sense had been destroyed too many times, the Sea God always felt that his divine sense outside was not safe and could very well be destroyed by some unknown entity.

So after leaving Ning Qiuyang with some of his strength, he left directly.

"Brother, what kind of power is this? It's different from your usual soul power."

Xue Ke sat opposite Ning Qiuyang, resting her chin on her hand, and asked curiously.

The matter of the Sea God's inheritance is currently known only to Xue Ye and Ning Qiuyang.

Having been emperor for so long, Xue Ye still possesses some wisdom. It's impossible for him to believe that just because the crown prince has inherited a divine position, he can immediately challenge the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan.

On the contrary, the closer we get to this point, the more cautious we need to be.

If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan finds out, they might take a risk and directly poison the Crown Prince, who has not yet mastered power comparable to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.
